I pride myself on offering quality representation at affordable prices. I work with my client to resolve issues not rack up legal fees.
Clerked for all of the Franklin Municipal Court judges from 2000-2002.

I became an attorney because I believe that it is an honorable and noble profession. I enjoy helping my clients resolve their problems with as little hassle as possible.
I too have gone through difficult periods in my life and this enables me to better understand and empathize with my clients. My paralegal and I are the only individuals that my clients have contact with, which means that their concerns are always heard in a timely manner.
I chose to focus my practice on family law, bankruptcy, probate and estate planning because I feel those are areas of the law in which a person's emotional state are most affected by issues that they are having. I want to help my clients resolve those issues and be able to move on with their life.
I am a solo practitioner with one paralegal. That means when you call you get to speak to me personally--not a secretary. I think customer service is vital to my client's satisfaction and our small, intimate office environment allows for great customer service.
A client who is reasonable, fair and willing to compromise. Issues can be resolved quickly, cheaply and out of court when clients are willing to accept fair compromises.
I enjoy traveling, keeping fit, reading and spending time with my family and friends.
I enjoy offering free informational sessions with respect to common concerns in the areas of law that I practice to various community entities, like homeowners associations, churches, libraries, and nursing homes.
